I'm looking to put together a new system featuring Win7 Pro (or better) 64, i7-950, SLI'd 460's, and I'd love to boot off a RevoDrive, which requires at least a pci-e 2.0 4x slot, or so I have read. Are there any boards out there that support a 16x/16x/4x configuration, as opposed to 16x/8x/8x, aside from the massive 9 pcie slot boards that can only fit in a tree house of a case?
 
Welcome to Tom's Forums! :)

The GTX 460 can only barely saturate an x4 and the GTX 580 won't saturate an x8, unless get a RevoDrive with a minimum of 128GB then don't waste your money.
